At some point, the Black Mirror was taken by Tina and Robert Minoru for use of their search into their heritage. Shocked by what they found, the Minorus sealed the mirror to prevent others from using it. After the Minorus' death, Marie Laveau retook possession of the mirror and tricked Nico Minoru into opening it. Nico inadvertently broke the mirror allowing Laveau to retrieve the Parchment of Power that was hidden behind the mirror.[3]
